Top tips:

- Get your florist to supply natural rose petals for the aisle

- Add on the arbour with a floral arrangement

- If you have guests staying in the penthouse, get a post ceremony group photo from above!

W e l c o m e B a y G a r d e n

Top Tips:

- Start time of 4pm to miss the heat of the day

- Jesus hooks with vases and flowers look great along the edge of the aisle

- Make sure to check the tides, if its high there will be very little beach!

- Advise your guests to wear flats on the invitation, walking on built up coral on the shore can be tricky.
